Madness
¤ The Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know where my destiny's taking me.
I'll go where ever it leads me.
Too high, too low baby.
I want know where my destiny's taking me.
So I'll go to make you believe me.
Cry, cry when there's something to cry about.
It's madness.
Don't ask me to explain. Don't take away the pain.
It's impossible to save me.
So come on!
Too cheap, too scary.
Too creepy to marry.
Too serious and too mysterious and way to, way too deep.
Cry, cry when there's something to cry about.
Cry, cry baby, don't drown in the sadness.
It's madness.
Don't ask me to explain. Don't take away the pain.
It's impossible to save me.
It's madness.
So easy to complain. Nobody left to blame.
It's impossible to save me.
Crack in the shield. It feels so unreal.
No one to blame for loosing the flame.
Crack in the shield, lost in the fields of sadness.
It's madness...
It's madness.
Don't ask me to explain. Don't take away the pain.
It's impossible to save me.
Save me from madness
Oh its madness
Know that its madness
Wake up its madness
So come on!
The Rasmus's song "Madness" is a reflective piece about the struggle and uncertainty of life's journey. The song explores the idea of being caught up in situations that feel too big to handle, as expressed through lyrics like, "Too much, too fast maybe. I don't know where my destiny's taking me." Despite the challenges, the singer is determined to follow their path wherever it may lead. The chorus serves as a reminder to not give in to despair, to cry when necessary but not to drown in sadness. The song's title is a cue that the madness referred to in the lyrics is not necessarily mental illness but instead the ambiguity of existence.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of being lost and disconnected from the world, expressed through lines such as "Too serious and too mysterious and way to, way too deep." The repeated use of the phrase "it's impossible to save me" highlights the singer's feeling of hopelessness. The final verse, with its references to a "crack in the shield" and "losing the flame" implies a sense of vulnerability and failure.
